When The Moon Howls

Chapter Three

3. Can't Stop

Next day...

*DING*

I hear my phone go off while at the dinner table. I wonder who it could be as I reached into my pocket to check. My phone is normally quiet unless Fran or Jess ring to gossip about someone. "Uh ah Missy, no phones at the table until you finish all your food" he says firmly while holding his hand out for my phone. I sigh handing over my phone and trying to finish my food. My lip was still hurting like a mother fucker, so it made it impossible for me to eat.

I manage to finish most my food before the pain was becoming unbearably. I got up cleared my plate from the table before asking for my phone back. I was so anxious to see who texted while holding my hand out for my phone. My father smiled before handing my phone back.

"Gees Sam your famous, I wonder who it is Sam. A boy?" Julius questioned with a smirk on his face. He then looks over at our father who has his arms crossed, tapping his feet angrily. "So, you have a boyfriend now?" My dad questioned still tapping his foot. I shake my head. "You better not Sam! I'm not ready to be a grand dad just yet" he scoffed as he stood up from the table to place his plate in the sink.

I look at Julius with evil eyes before slapping him hard across the back of his head. "WHY DID YOU HAVE TO SAY THAT FOR?" I snapped hitting the back of his head again. He laughed then shrugged before taking off to his bedroom. I do the same while opening my phone to check my messages.

I jump with glee when I realised it's a text from Marcus. What in the world I thought to myself grinning at his name on my phone. "Hey Sammy! Marcus here, was wondering what you’re doing? It's kind of boring here" the message says. My smile grew bigger as I text him back "Hey Marcus, not much just laid down. What are you doing?" I ask waiting impatiently for him to text back.

I was watching the chat bubbles on my I-phone appear then disappear before re-appearing again. Hurry up please I giggled still waiting for him to text me back. Minutes later my ringtone goes off. This time he's ringing me.

I freeze as it rings then I slightly panic. I could feel my heart wanting to jump out from my chest. I take a deep breath before pressing the answer button. "Ah hello?" I answer nervously. "Ah hey! sorry I rung I couldn't be bothered typing" he replies. I giggle "It's OK, neither could I to be honest!". We laughed a bit before we got chatting.

We were on the phone for hours getting to know each other. When I decided to check the clock, it was almost two. I could feel my eyes grow heavy, but I didn't want to hang up on him. I have had butterflies in my tummy during this phone call and I wasn't ready for it end but I needed it too. He was so funny which I liked a lot, but I couldn't get over his voice. He kind of sounded a lot like Marcel from the program series The Originals.

I love supernatural movies and programs. My favourite show would have to be teen wolf. Maybe because of Derek Hale because man he was fine. When I told Marcus about all the supernatural programs, I watched he laughed.

"Ah hey! did you know we have spoken for almost four hours?" I questioned. There was a bit of silence before he answered, "It is pretty late would you like to rest?". I replied with a yes before he asked me what my plans were for tomorrow. I was trying to think if I had anything planned for tomorrow before he asked. "Would you like to go fishing tomorrow morning? I can pick you up around nine. I pulled the phone away from my ear before squealing making me smile till my cheeks hurt.

"Of course," I replied. Moments later we ended our phone conversation. I really didn't want to stop talking to him, but I could feel my eyes grow heavier before I knew it, I was out for the night.

*PHONE RINGS*

"What the hell?" I groaned as I opened one eye to check the time on my phone. My body still felt a bit tired and I did not want to move. "Uh! It's only ten thirty" I say as I slowly laid back down on to my pillow, closing my eyes. "s**t! TEN THIRTY!" I snapped, grabbing my phone. First time ever my phone received so much notifications. Seven missed calls from Marcus and Ten unread messages. "Damn it!" I say out loud beginning to freak out. Hoping I haven't missed my chance to hand with him. I dial his number and wait for him to answer.

It took a few tries before finally reaching him. "I'm so sorry! I accidentally slept in. Can we still go fishing?" I questioned, hoping he would say yes. He quickly replies with a "Hey and Yes, I'll see you in an hour".

I hop out of bed trying to find something to wear before taking a shower. "What in the world do people wear to go fishing?" I thought to myself. I never knew how much clothes I really had until I saw a big pile of clothes next to the wardrobe. I'm running out of time, so I reached for my white low-cut Chuck Taylor's, a pair of black leggings and a white oversized jumper.

I took a quick shower, threw my hair in to a ponytail before racing out my bedroom door to meet with Marcus down at the end of our street. I had text him earlier to meet me down at the end of our street because if Julius knew I was with him he would be so angry at me not only that probably wouldn't talk to me.

I wanted to run but I didn't want to sweat before jumping into his car and I didn’t want to smell like a sweaty wet dog before jumping into his car. I finally arrive to his car to see he wasn't in the truck. "Huh!" I muttered. Then suddenly I feel someone grab my waist. My immediate reaction was to elbow them in the nose. As I turned to elbow whoever was behind me, Marcus catches my elbow and laughs.

"Be careful you might break your arm on my face" he laughed. Forgetting how solid built he was. "Sorry I have frightened you?" he mutters as he goes to hug me. I returned his hug before he asked "Ready?" opening up the passenger’s door for me.

"Thanks!" I muttered before hoping in. Could this really be happening, spending the day with the man I crushed on. It all felt so unreal but great at the same time as we take off to go fishing.
